- Description: The combination of fungal pre-treatment with Trametes pubescens and anaerobic digestion were tested for the removal of chemical oxygen demand (COD) and phenolic compounds from wine distillery wastewater. The COD removal efficiency after fungal pre-treatment reached 53.3%. During digestion, pH buffering was achieved using CaCO3 and K2HPO4. This provided a stable environment inside digester for efficient and time-independent COD removal. The total COD removal efficiency reached 99.5%, and the system proved able to eliminate shock COD loads, as indicated by the concentrations of sludge and volatile fatty acids. Complex changes of phenolic compounds are suspected in anaerobic digestion system, and are investigated further.

In total, 450 people from some 50 countries. In common: they're all lecturers and trainers. Busy swopping notes in Singapore at the first-ever World Journalism Education Congress (WJEC) in July. It's a resource-rich pool of ideas and experiences.

- Description: In July, Vanity Fair, based in New York, did a unique special edition. Editor Graydon Carter explained how it came about: "Earlier this year, Mark Dowley, a marketing polymath at the Endeavour talent agency who has been involved with Bono's (Red) campaign from the start, called to inquire if I would be interested in having him guest edit an issue of the magazine. Interested? I'll say!".

- Description: One of the conference strategies that I found particularly valuable was that of the "syndicate teams" who met regularly to speak on focused topics. Delegates signed up for the topic they were interested in and stayed with that group for the duration of the conference. The list included topics such as the status of journalism education in the academy; the role of journalism in changing the media; adapting journalism education to a digital age, etc.
